RB/E2F1 as a Master Regulator of Cancer Cell Metabolism in Advanced Disease.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-09-01)Loss of the retinoblastoma (RB) tumor suppressor protein is a critical step in reprogramming biological networks that drive cancer progression, although mechanistic insight has been largely limited to the impact of RB loss ... -
Phase I Study of MEDI3726: A Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate, in Patients with mCRPC after Failure of Abiraterone or Enzalutamide.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-07-01)PURPOSE: MEDI3726 is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen and carrying a pyrrolobenzodiazepine warhead. This phase I study evaluated MEDI3726 monotherapy in patients with metastatic ... -
Genomic profile of advanced breast cancer in circulating tumour DNA.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-23)The genomics of advanced breast cancer (ABC) has been described through tumour tissue biopsy sequencing, although these approaches are limited by geographical and temporal heterogeneity. Here we use plasma circulating ... -
An analysis of health-related quality of life in the phase III PROSELICA and FIRSTANA studies assessing cabazitaxel in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-04-01)BACKGROUND: Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are living longer, therefore optimizing health-related quality of life (HRQL), as well as survival outcomes, is important for optimal patient ... -
Pain Progression at Initiation of Cabazitaxel in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC): A Post Hoc Analysis of the PROSELICA Study.
(MDPI, 2021-03-13)BACKGROUND: In the PROSELICA phase III trial (NCT01308580), cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 (CABA20) was non-inferior to cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 (CABA25) in mCRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel (DOC). The present post hoc ... -
HER3 expression and MEK activation in non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021-04-09)AIM: We explore HER3 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (adeno-NSCLC) and identify potential mechanisms of HER3 expression. MATERIALS & METHODS: Tumor samples from 45 patients with adeno-NSCLC were analyzed. HER3 and HER2 ... -
Impact of initial treatment and prognostic factors on postprogression survival in BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma treated with dacarbazine or vemurafenib ± cobimetinib: a pooled analysis of four clinical trials.
(2020-08-03)Background We sought to identify patient subgroups with distinct postprogression overall survival (ppOS) outcomes and investigate the impact of original treatment assignment and initial postprogression treatment (ppRx) on ... -
HER-3 Expression and MEK Activation in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
(Research Square, 2020-08-26)<h4>Background: </h4> HER-3 has a role in pathogenesis and development of resistance to targeted therapies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsWe analysed tumour samples from 45 patients with adenocarcinoma of ... -
Prospective Evaluation of Doxorubicin Cardiotoxicity in Patients with Advanced Soft-tissue Sarcoma Treated in the ANNOUNCE Phase III Randomized Trial.
(2021-02-25)Purpose Few prospective studies have assessed anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity in patients with sarcoma. We evaluated cardiotoxicity in patients with soft-tissue sarcomas administered doxorubicin in the phase III ... -
Extraskeletal osteosarcomas: current update.
Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a very infrequently diagnosed soft-tissue sarcoma subtype which has identical histological features to bone osteosarcoma. However, its demographics, presentation, radiology and treatment ... -
Avapritinib in unresectable or metastatic PDGFRA D842V-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumours: Long-term efficacy and safety data from the NAVIGATOR phase I trial.
Background PDGFRA D842V mutations occur in 5-10% of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), and previously approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are inactive against this mutation. Consequently, patients have a poor ... -
Lifileucel, a Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Therapy, in Metastatic Melanoma.
(2021-05-12)Purpose Effective treatment options are limited for patients with advanced (metastatic or unresectable) melanoma who progress after immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies. Adoptive cell therapy using ... -
Searching for treatments for non-G12C-KRAS mutant cancers.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-08-31)KRAS mutations drive a wide variety of cancers. Drugs targeting the protein product of KRASG12C mutations are currently being evaluated show preliminary efficacy in clinical trials. A clinical trial of VS-6766, a dual ... -
Selective AKT kinase inhibitor capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant in PTEN-mutant ER-positive metastatic breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-16)Five to ten percent of ER+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) tumors harbor somatic PTEN mutations. Loss of function of this tumor-suppressor gene defines a highly aggressive, treatment-refractory disease for which new therapies ... -
Monitoring advances including consent: learning from COVID-19 trials and other trials running in UKCRC registered clinical trials units during the pandemic.
(BMC, 2021-04-14)The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how clinical trials are managed, both within existing portfolios and for the rapidly developed COVID-19 trials. Sponsors or delegated organisations responsible for monitoring trials have ... -
